Nowadays, the actress is living a much more grounded life in the Middle East — but she still hasn’t fully escaped her troubled past.

She added:

“When I do something good, [the press] just bring [my past] up. I’m nearly 32 years old. This is so long ago.”

Well, it’s never easy to forget when a beloved child star comes of age to find herself in a string of arrests for DUIs and other drug-related offenses.

If Lindsay truly wants to escape her tragic past, we recommend she faces her fears and comes back to Hollyweird and acts the shit out of something. Everyone loves a comeback — right, biggest movie star in the world Robert Downey Jr.?
